The Miron Student Center, a well-known place on campus, is undergoing a series of renovations with the goal of making it better for the students and organizations that meet there.
The construction on the Miron Student Center started in April 2019 and is scheduled to be completed by January. The construction will be done in three phases throughout the building.
“The bathrooms were done in September, the Greek Lounge and Miron Student Center Offices are concluded in January 2020, and new wooden flooring in the main hallway will be done also in January 2020,” said Miron Student Center Director Kerrin Lyles. “There is also now an additional gender-neutral bathroom that was finished this fall.”

well as new sinks and mirrors.
“The bathrooms by the Miron Student Center Game Room will also be finished getting new tiling and such in January 2020,” said Lyles.
“The new bathrooms look really nice,” said senior Business major Roman Bellanger. “The sensors on the sinks are a little touchy and it’s hard to get the water started, but other than that, everything looks amazing.”
Along with the bathrooms, the Greek Lounge is also getting an upgrade. The room will be made bigger so that the Greek organizations have more rooms for their meetings and can all fit in the room comfortably. Since Greek life does a majority of their events in MSC it only makes sense they make the room they meet in bigger and much nicer.
“I’m not part of Greek Life, but the preview of the design of the room looks amazing,” said Senior Z Nash, “It’s good that they are renovating because those areas are due for an update.”

The flooring in the main hallway leading up to the MSC Food Court is also getting renovated. The flooring will no longer be tiling and instead be wood laminate flooring, similar to that of the hallway that leads up to the Cougars Den.
“I did not know that they were going to be adding new flooring,” said Bellanger. “That is going to look really nice and very professional. I am excited to see all these new changes in the building.”
The back offices where Miron Student Center professional staff resided is also getting an update. Their offices will be given new carpet along with new office space due to the renovation done on the Greek Lounge.
The information desk will also be getting brand new carpeting as a part of the renovations which was not part of the original plans.
